Arty Bristol! - We had such fun exploring the city by following the street art trail. Took a little while to find the start, but then instructions were clear and easy to follow. Lots of hills and steps so pretty hard work!

Enjoyable - Good to see a Banksy. Easy to find, protected by fencing. Will start to go see some more now. In an industrial estate on the harbourside.

Recommend! - This was really fun and we enjoyed the story making the quest more interesting. Not so much banksy as general street art but nevertheless a great way to spend a bit of time!

Great tour. Story not needed. - If was great to see the art work and explore different parts of Bristol. We skipped through the 'love story' as it was very cheesy and wouldn't be suitable for young children. Some of the questions weren't easy to answer as the answers could have been a number of things. On one question you had to fill in a street name. We were literally stood in front of the sign and got the question wrong. Not sure if the street name has been changed since the tour was started but definitely wouldn't have got the answer without skipping it. On the whole we enjoyed the tour as a couple, the facts and art was briliant but the story and some of the clues were a bit pointless.

Unable to skip on Questo app - Unable to skip without paying more in app currency. We were stuck about 5 questions in and had to abandon as we were not able to skip

Disappointed - I’m not sure I want you to print this review because we have had a few wonderful outings with Viator in various countries but this was not one of them. I had the game confirmed and paid for and we downloaded the tickets on to our iPhones. On the morning of the game we got to the starting place and it all went wrong. We just got a message YOU DON’T HAVE ENOUGH JEWELS. We could not get past this. It was hugely disappointing as we had brought friends with us.

This is not a Banksy guided tour! - The App and the instructions were far too complicated. Involved changing screens all the time. I was looking for a self guided walk taking myself and 4 friends around a route to look at “Banksy Art”. - which is what was described after all! But this appears to be some sort of competitive quiz game, v irritating! There were other murals nothing to do with Banksy either, some that could have been mentioned as well, to help confirm I was walking in the expected direction. 3 of us downloaded the app but they also felt confused and disappointed as well and that’s when we agreed to abandoned the walk. A waste of money as we then did our own walk around Bristol together, as 2 of us know Bristol reasonably well. Luckily it was lovely weather.

Payed for but unused due to clumsy interface - Difficult to navigate the start. Ended up using a different tour application after paying for this one.

We arrived to the destination and no one was there. The hotel, where we were told to meet, had no idea about the tour. - There WAS NO EXPERIENCE. We found no trace of a tour or anyone that knew anything at all about it. Very disappointed and I’d like a refund of my full charges.
